SUMMARY:Bare hands - Impact without toys
DESCRIPTION:We all are already equipped with some pretty amazing impact tools: Our bodies with all its softer and harder\, lighter and heavier parts. In this class we invite the participants to experiment with their own ‘factory-installed’ impact toys. Under the guidance of Addie\, who is mainly practicing impact play with their own body\, we will explore fundamental aspects like which body parts can be used for stingy and which for thuddy hits\, physical and emotional safety\, the use of body weight behind impact\, soft and hard surfaces\, as well as more creative ways to use our bodies for impact play. \nThis class is a great opportunity to try out these techniques. Solo participants are welcome\, and we encourage you to pair up with others or join an existing group. However\, please note that active practice for solo participants cannot be guaranteed.

SUMMARY:Shibari - Intro to suspensions
DESCRIPTION:You’ve taken the Intro classes\, you know your single column from your double\, and you’re ready for more. Intro to suspensions builds the foundations for a wide variety of skills beyond the basics. \nIn these sessions\, we slow things down and build the skills to help you become confident\, capable rope players. You’ll refine your techniques\, explore simple patterns with more intention\, and start working with connection\, communication. We offer a mix of hands-on guidance\, practical exercises\, and space to ask the questions that don’t quite fit into an intro class. \nPerfect for anyone who wants to solidify their fundamentals\, deepen their understanding\, and feel ready to step into our full range of rope offerings. \nCome build confidence\, control\, and creativity — one knot at a time.

SUMMARY:Orientation - For Newcomers to Kink
DESCRIPTION:New to kink and don’t know where to start? Interested in going to events but you don’t know how to behave\, what to wear\, what to do? You are definitely not alone and going to your first kink event can be quite intimidating. This barrier free newcomer orientation helps people who are brand new to take their first steps into the fascinating world of kink. \nWhat to expect\nPart 1 — The first part is a conversation with the participants about the world of kink: Etiquette online and offline\, expectations\, dress codes at events\, possibilities and some recommendations\, especially for single folks. \nPart 2 —We go through a few of the most common kinks: bondage\, impact\, Dominance/submission\, fetishes\, etc. Participants can see how it feels to hold a flogger or be tied up. \nPart 3 — The last part is all about the open questions of the participants: Where to go from here? What to do with this or that fantasy? How to find someone to play with? And many more questions answered.

SUMMARY:Mechanical engineering for perverts
DESCRIPTION:Not a workshop but a laboratory. Playful experimenting with all kinds of things and materials that could be put together into hand-made fucking machines. There will be motors\, hand cranks\, rods\, connectors\, joints\, sliders\, and tools for us all to make a functional machine together. And the best part: after making it\, we need to see if it actually works.* Team work makes the dream work! \nYou don’t need to have any tools or skills\, just curiosity. The machines that work will be available at the studio until the next lab.  \n*Please bring your own toy (suction cup or vac-u-loc attachment style toys) as well as a towel if you want to try.

SUMMARY:Fantasy Toys: Everything you wanted to know
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Dax is showing us everything we always wanted to know about fantasy sex toys: how they are made\, what stiffness means for different makers\, how to care for them\, and what they might be able to signify for people who don’t want just a cheap (and still overpriced) copy of yet another penis. \nAfter a presentation and discussion\, participants are invited to check out Dax’s impressive collection of toys with useful infos about ethical (or non-ethical) producers\, prices\, and how to spot errors.

SUMMARY:Let's Make Love Music
DESCRIPTION:Most of us can’t think the erotic without also hearing the noises and sounds that accompany our encounters. What if we focus for a bit on that sound and combine our desires and fantasies with the tonality\, rhythm\, and temporality of music. \nThis class is about music making with hot open discussions on music\, kink\, and intimacy\, followed by a music production session\, using toys of your choice (adult or musical). \n

SUMMARY:Shibari - Intro to suspensions
DESCRIPTION:You’ve taken the Intro classes\, you know your single column from your double\, and you’re ready for more. Intro to suspensions builds the foundations for a wide variety of skills beyond the basics. \nIn these sessions\, we slow things down and build the skills to help you become confident\, capable rope players. You’ll refine your techniques\, explore simple patterns with more intention\, and start working with connection\, communication. We offer a mix of hands-on guidance\, practical exercises\, and space to ask the questions that don’t quite fit into an intro class. \nPerfect for anyone who wants to solidify their fundamentals\, deepen their understanding\, and feel ready to step into our full range of rope offerings. \nCome build confidence\, control\, and creativity — one knot at a time.

SUMMARY:Shibari - Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:In this training\, we take the participants on a journey into the details of Shibari. Floorwork\, suspensions\, movement\, and communication are at the centre in this training series. \nEach month\, we develop the skills via one dedicated rope pattern\, which means that participants will work on the same pattern for a complete month. That helps solidifying the pattern as well as filling your toolboxes for elaborate and diverse rope scenes.

SUMMARY:CNC
DESCRIPTION:Many of us are familiar with the concept of consensual nonconsent (CNC): a scenario where the folks involved agree to play that may appear nonconsensual. This can look like anything from using a safeword so “no” doesn’t mean “stop\,” to roleplaying being made to do things you “don’t want\,” to scenes with enacted violence like forced entry or kidnapping. \nWith such a wide range of things that can fall under CNC\, individual approaches may vary wildly. In this class we will discuss how to negotiate for CNC and create the container for play. We will also cover what it can look like to push boundaries on purpose\, and how that can feel as either a top or a bottom\, as well as risk mitigation and managing self image as folks oriented towards this kind of play.

SUMMARY:Shibari Live Drawing
DESCRIPTION:Shibari Live Drawing differs from usual live drawing sessions in two major ways. For one\, the poses that can be reached with the help of ropes are very different from anything live drawing models could assume on their own\, e.g. suspensions.  \nOn the other hand\, those poses are short living\, which means that artists are not only met with unusual poses but also with less time to catch them.  \nIn two Shibari performances by different Shibari practitioners from the community\, the participants will meet different body types every time.  \nAll levels welcome\, all media welcome (photography is dependent on the performer’s individual wishes and only as long as it does not disturb the other participants).  \n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Einstein\, Newton\, and Archimedes walk in to a dungeon
DESCRIPTION:Physics is in all of our play\, whether we know it or not and whether we understand it or not. From the forces involved in rope suspensions\, to the difference of elastic and inelastic collision in impact play\, from the torque of a fucking machine\, to the thermodynamics of body fluids: why not use these principles to our advantage? Can we use them to enhance our experiences? Of course we can! \nIn this class we won’t solve equations (unless you are into it). But we will cover \n\nNewton’s laws (I\, II\, & III)\nArchimedes’ principle of leverage\nFriction and pressure\nA bit of fluid dynamics (Bernoulli)\nA bit of thermodynamics\n\nas applied to the most common kinky activities with a focus on rope bondage. \nThis class is hybrid\, that means\, we will have tickets for in-house participants as well as virtual participants. All participants get access to the recording of the class for 14 days after the class. \nFor any questions\, please feel free to reach out to us.

SUMMARY:The first poke - Needle & Sharps 101
DESCRIPTION:The play with needles and sharps is super exciting and titillating but there are a few things to know before your first poke for pleasure. In this class MxAnnix will share some of the risks when playing with sharps and blood\, while also covering safer station setup\, basics of piercing\, wound care\, and cleanliness.  \n\n\n\nThey will also share more detailed medical risks\, procedures\, and information to help equip you with more safety measures and responses. After the discussion part of the class everyone will follow along with Annix to set up a safer sharps play station\, administer a needle to oneself or a classmate\, remove needle(s)\, provide wound care\, and station clean up. All materials will be provided\, though you are welcome to bring your own materials. Wear something comfortable\, bring water\, and be sure to eat about 30-60 minutes before class.  \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns before class you can contact Annix at mxannix@gmail.com
